Well, "actual" Italians (whatever that means) call their marinara sauce "salsa", so they must clearly be wrong since we have a different name for it.

Restaurants might call it bolognese. Some Italian-American families call it gravy.

Why is anything called what it is? It's a regional/cultural thing. We've been calling it that in my family for as long as I can remember. My mom's parents are off the boat and my dad's mom is 2nd generation, is that "actually" Italian enough for you?
